Newly Declassified National Security Agency Documents Show Analysts Made "SIGINT fit the claim" of North Vietnamese Attack


Now I was thinking, since Johnson and Bush both used similar tactics to lead us to a war for the benefit of defence contractors, maybe the problem is a "Remember the Alamo" Texas attitude.

I'm kidding, of course, but will we finally learn after being burned twice now, that when they tell us a third rate country the size of California is attacking the United States with hopes of taking us over....they might be lying?

"The Mouse That Roared" comes to mind.

but don't let the report get in your way.

I find it odd that this information is being released at this very time (very convenient). I suspect the republican chickenhawks will try use this to gain some traction in support of the Bush* war - yet their logic is flawed from the beginning. Trying to justify what Bush* did by accusing someone else of doing the same. (e.g. how can you judge my actions when you do exactly the same thing?)
